A debut from Gaye Keskin that traces wounds that never heal, searches that never end and silent losses. İçimdeki Kilitleri Tek Tek (The Locks Within Me, One by One) arrives on the shelves in February.
It’s no use – none of them make you forget me. You come to see that a person is as vast on the outside as they are within, and you can no longer contain yourself. You can find no place for yourself in homes, in streets, in cities. You writhe in pain. At last, one evening, you speak to me. You tell me that a life without me is impossible, yet you can never find the road that leads to me, and once again you call me to your side. I listen to you; I listen, but I do not come.
In this first book, Gaye Keskin explores the intricate relationships people have, sometimes with themselves and sometimes with those closest to them, along with alienation and deprivation. Stretching from Madam Violet to Mümtaz, from Eleni to Neriman, this journey promises readers intense, heartfelt and powerful stories.
İçimdeki Kilitleri Tek Tek tells stories of wounds that refuse to heal, of restless searching, and of relentless deprivation and loss. The book emerges as a powerful reflection of inner reckonings and of the individual’s search for freedom.
